REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD INCORPORATE OIL PALM FARMING IN YOUR AGRIC PROJECT IN 2025 BY KKFARMS

Dear would be farmer ,your next investment plan for the year 2025 farming season should be setting up an oil palm plantation farm .The good thing is that you can still plant the conventional food crops like maize and cassava that we are all used to but you need to incorporate oil palm plantation farming in your list of food crops to be planted next year ,the reasons are not farfetched ;

Our farmers have suffered enough from drought in raining season that wipe away their farms and investment year in year out .It becomes worse this year when around July to August drought occurred for more than 40 days in some farming communities in Nigeria and other part of African countries ,the implication of this is that by by year 2025 prices of food will no longer be affordable to average Nigerians and the most painful thing is that the African countries where food are usually imported into Nigeria also suffered same tragedy .

Having spent huge amount of money to buy the farmland ,clearing and purchase of farm input to plant the conventional crops only for rain to seize which leads to loss of crops and investment wiped away ,then it becomes pertinent to plant a drought tolerant cash crop such as oil palm tree so that all your efforts and investment will not be 100 percent loss .The oil palm tree planted in the farmland will be the reason why you may still remain a farmer because this crop within 3 to 4 years if well managed is capable of creating a long term generational wealth for you and your family .

Apart from being a drought tolerant plant which is my major motivation for this article oil palm farming also offers a little capital start up with less than 500k to set up an acre and maintain it for the next 3 years to 4 years excluding cost of procuring farmland and it has potential to generate revenue of more than a million naira per acre annually at full maturity provided all farming guideline and good agronomic practice are maintained .This projected revenue which is subject to increase with inflation is excluding sales of palm kernel which also generate more revenue to the farmer .

Another reason why as a newbie farmer you needs to consider oil palm farming is the stability in the prices of its end product such as palm oil and vegetable oil however we must not discredit the fact that there are period of slightly fluctuation in prices depending on harvest season and off harvest season .This fact enable you as a farmer to predict your income and expenditure in oil palm farming thereby enabling you to always plan ahead .The case is different with short terms crop mostly cassava .To most of of that planted cassava this year we have prepare our minds that the current selling price of 100k to 150k per tonnage price may be less than 100k per ton next year harvest season due to mass planting carried out this year across the country .There is a lot of money to be made in oil palm farming and there are lot of job creation in this aspect of farming but you need knowledge and an experience farmer to work that's why KKFARMS is always available to work with you in year 2025

According to Eruobodo Eruobodo People will tell you there's Money to be made in; Agriculture, Property, Transport, Manufacturing, Trading, etc. This is true!
However there are two additional information about this assertion you must also know. First is that, if there's Money to be made in any Venture, therein lies Losses too!
Second, to ensure what you make is Money and not Losses, you need a large dose of; Knowledge, Grit, and Luck.
